About (Summary)
After graduating in 2013, with a BS, honours, in Architectural Studies, I completed an extended internship in Sydney, Australia working for Steele Associates. It was there that I discovered I want to pursue a Masters in a similar field of study, Urban and Regional Planning. I also wish to pursue a Masters of Real Estate and the Built Environment, or a general MBA. I travelled for nine weeks throughout central and eastern Australia as well as the north and south islands of New Zealand. I currently live in Lakewood, Colorado where I am applying to graduate programs as well as job searching for jobs related to my fields of interest.

Grad School Interests
I would love to attend UC Berkeley's Urban Planning program and am aware they also have a Real Estate program. I am also interested in the Urban Planning program at UC Denver and the Real Estate and Built Environment program at University of Denver. Depending on scholarships received, amount of tuition funds saved, I will go where it is most feasible.
Intended Job Path
I intend to help build and rebuild cities in a way that utilizes the natural "free" resources of particular regions. I want to plan for long term growth and renewal of energy sources. In order to do this, I plan to pursue two Masters - one in Urban and Regional Planning, as well as one that is business related so that I can work efficiently and to the best of my ability, collaborating with professionals of different backgrounds - architecture, environmental sciences, engineering, cultural diversity, etc. I wish to strengthen community relationships as well as city infrastructure both those that are physical and those that are unseen to the general public eye. I want to work in cities that have the potential to become examples for the rest of the world.
